Hi Fanus, great find. A quick Google indicates that that is indeed the number. ICID stands for integrated circuit card identifier, and is the number engraved on the SIM. This is often needed for things like number porting, or when a new sim is required, so it's cool to have an accessible way to get at this.
Thanks.

Hello List When I go to settings then general then about and I start to flick to the right, just after the imei number there is an ICCID number which I wonder if that is not the sim card number because it starts with the digits 89 which are the starting digits for sim card numbers here in South Africa and it has 20 digits. If not, what is ICCID?
